As shown above, the five aborted cases, three of which were 
mild and two severe and nontoxic, were all observed during 
the first week of the disease and had an average duration of 
disease of 10.8 days; the five benefited cases during the second 
week, all of which were severe and nontoxic, had an average 
duration of the disease of 22.2 days; the three relatively un- 
affected cases, all of which were severe and toxic, had an aver- 
age duration of the disease of 33.3 days. The total average 
duration of the disease was 22.1 days. In one of the cases tem- 
perature fall by crisis was observed, in four cases decline by 
lysis was noted, and in only one case did a relapse develop. The 
charts, figs. 9 and 10, show the effect of the treatment.
